  3. Chomping like it’s an ear of corn! Wow they do eat fast.

    I’ve seen the chickens make a mess of these guys. I dont even think they eat them. 😕

    No kidding! Last summer I checked my peppers in the evening and they looked fine, but by the next morning it was like the leaves just disappeared overnight. Found a massive hornworm hanging off the stalk like it owned the place lol.

    That’s pretty amazing. Reminds me of old cartoons and how fast they could eat an ear of corn.

    It shows why it’s so easy for these guys to make a tomato plant almost disappear in 24 hours.

    I still think they are one of the cutest things ever! I enjoyed your video. Pretty cool to watch them do their thing.

    All they do is eat, shit, and die. I always root for the wasps or chickens.

    I always thought the horn was on their head but watching your video opened my eyes. Those little biggest are horned buts lol.

    My husband chased me around the yard one time holding one of those in needle nose pliers.
    We’re divorced now

    I wish they ate the spider mites too

    I thankfully don’t have hornworms but I do have just about every other critter including some I have yet to identify

    I hit the volume button expecting the sound from Pac-Man.

  14. Was unfamiliar until this year. So if your plant had these:
    Is the plant still good to keep?
    Is the fruit that was untouched still good?
    Does their poop contaminate everything it touched?
    Do they return because they have eggs in the soil?

    I had these raid my tomatoes this year and a black light made it easy picking for them. I fed them all to my quail which were very obliged for them.

    It seems like everything wants to kill or eat them, so I guess they have to treat every meal like it’s the last time they’ll see food. lol

  18. Can’t wait to see this guy explode with infested wasp eggs
